""I'll Change for You" finds Mitski at her most vulnerable, offering to erase any part of herself that her partner might not want in exchange for their love. She channels these big feelings with a decidedly small arrangement, her backing band providing jazzy flourishes and drummer Bruno Esrubilsky employing a tightly-wound bossa nova groove."
"They all create space for Mitski to ache and ruminate, and she eventually reaches a passionate, cards-on-the-table belt at the start of the final chorus. Mitski has often leaned into theatricality for her live performances, but this is about as close to "Mitski as cabaret singer" as we can get."
Mitski appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to perform 'I'll Change for You,' a track from her forthcoming album Nothing's About to Happen to Me, arriving February 27th. The song explores themes of vulnerability and self-sacrifice, with Mitski offering to change herself for her partner's love. The performance features a minimalist arrangement with jazzy flourishes and a tight bossa nova groove from drummer Bruno Esrubilsky, creating intimate space for Mitski's emotional delivery. She builds to a passionate belt in the final chorus, delivering a cabaret-style performance. The album announcement included lead single 'Where's My Phone?' Mitski will support the release with world residencies beginning February 28th in New Jersey, continuing through New York, Mexico City, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, London, Sydney, and Istanbul.
